Pixelion Captions adds live transcription and translation captions to OBS Studio. It listens to your OBS program mix and displays captions in a source you can position and style anywhere in your scene. It is useful for streamers and creators who want on-screen captions in their own language or translated captions for a wider audience.

Getting started
AI Disclaimer: AI coding assistants were used for parts of this project, mainly to speed up routine work such as drafting boilerplate, reformatting, and suggesting fixes. The plugin was not written entirely or in large part by AI. Its design, the core transcription, translation, audio, and session logic, and the integration with Pixelion's services were written and reviewed by human developers at Pixel Solutions, who are responsible for the released code. It was also tested by people in OBS Studio before release and believed to be safe and functional.
